The Francis W. Parker Charter Essential School is a public secondary school of choice, open by lottery admissions to all residents of Massachusetts in grades seven through twelve. One of Massachusetts' first charter schools, Parker was started in 1995 by area parents and teachers committed to the principles of the Coalition of Essential Schools, of which it is a fully approved member. The school's mission statement includes principles about student-centered pedagogy, performance-based promotion, public exhibition of work, and a democratic community. Please visit our website (www.parker.org) for more information about the school.
